According to 4.14 in document B, Nefertiti becoming leader was so impressive because all pictures and writings of her mysteriously disappeared after about 12 years.. They say that when she became king her nephew was supposed to be the king, but he was to young. Nefertiti thought he wouldn't be able to handle everything by himself.
Wow! Learning about Ancient Egypt and female rulers like Nefertiti is actually really fun and interesting!
I'm glad your liking it! Fun fact, Nefertiti means "the beautiful women has come".
So what are we learning next?
I think we've learned enough for today. It's now your turn to tell us what YOU think female power can become in the future.
I can learn that a woman CAN take action no matter what are societies rules. Women are capable of any power just like Nefertiti. She participated in many manly acts and was the pharaoh!
What lessons can you learn from this female ruler?
Our world can learn that even back the when gender inequality was at its worst, existed some of the greatest female rulers in Egypt. And today inequality is getting better and yet there still hasn't bin a single female president in the U.S! That is crazy!
